The Valençay region is a land of water and forests located at the border of the Indre and Loir-et-Cher departments, marking the transition between the Sologne and Berry regions. The landscape is characterized by a mix of hedgerows, dense forests, and wet meadows, crisscrossed by peaceful streams. The region's history is dominated by the presence of the famous Château de Valençay, the residence and seat of influence of Talleyrand, and witness to the exile of the Prince of Spain. This rich history is complemented by a gastronomic tradition, notably that of Valençay cheese. The flora is typical of woodland and wetland areas, with a strong presence of oak and birch trees. The fauna is abundant, including numerous bird species and game, reflecting the region's long history of hunting.
